Nine races are carded on the Vaal Classic course this afternoon. The first is due off at 12h25 with the lucky last set for 17h05.
Robyn Klaasen – enjoyed feature success on Saturday and can saddle another winner today (Pic – Candiese Lenferna)
Frozen Fantasy from the Robyn Klaasen stable takes her place in Race 6.
She ran on strongly when second over this distance on the Turffontein Inside course last time.
The daughter of Potala Palace is the best-weighted runner in this contest and she may be rewarded for consistency.
Trainer Barend Botes sends out Silent Trigger in Race 8.
His last three starts under Winning Form-sponsored Jockey Malesela Katjedi have been good.
He challenged strongly over 1800m on this course last time but found one too good in the form of Flag Bearer.
He is likely to be settled near the rear of the field from his awkward draw of nine and will be mowing down the frontrunners.
